    Those cheap solar lights in peoples gardens, soon as you touch them they brake.. Must have broken dozens of them..
    Funny watching them fly across the yard when hit with the snipper...
    ....Nothing like a good whipper....

    agree and the other is plastic pots that have been sitting out in the sun for years...the wind of the whipper rips a hole in it

    Used Billy to pick up a heap of leaves along a very long fence at a school. Emptied into 2 wool bales quite full and left them near the end and walked Billy back to car with intentions to pick them up when I finished. Go to pick up and all car parks full so park about 30 mtrs away. Struggle with 2 fullish heavy bales of wet leaves and get them to the car. No sooner as I got the last one there the basketball game must have finished and most the spots became available

    unending rain - this weeks income is looking to be nil, last week wasn't much better

    edit - just looked at the BOM site, we've had here in April - 342mm, May - 183mm, June - 195mm so far (67mm today already)

    Bit wet here too, even the ducks have stayed inside.

    You have more rain in 3 months than we get in a year!

    or being told it is going to be a very wild day with heavy rain and strong winds. I scrapped my jobs for today and told my worker to stay home. We haven't had a drop yet!

    Same here,This is what makes me grumpy we have been told since Friday to expect gale force winds and flooding rain, yes we have had a couple of showers but nothing today, could of got a full day in, the suns even been out. Also while Im at it bloody doctors I have been told by two specialists that my hips are fine, if so why am I in so much pain. I feel like walking infront of a car some days.I cant wait for these bloody stem cell injections another long drawn out episode.
    And while Im on a roll I had to get under the house to unblock a drain pipe in the bathroom, and it seems the clown who used to own my place didn't believe in waterproofing when he did the bathroom up, floor is leaking bad, especially around the bath, I know he is a clown because he glued all the pvc pipe work up with liquid nails. Looks like Im up for a new bathroom yipee

    Cat s.h.i.t. that can't be seen in leaves while raking and mowing. You only know about it when you can smell it, after the fact.....

    Mee too... Decided to work at home and get some more landscaping done because the weather reports were so full on.
    I thought it was great when the sun was out then I realised around lunch that its not going to rain at all...could have worked.
